A ROYAL guest is set to make an appearance at a Christian Centre in West Drayton this afternoon.

Princess Anne, a Royal Patron of the Livability charity which works in partnership with Bell Farm Christian Centre, in South Road, to reach out to people on the Bell Farm Estate.

Tony Pilkington, Director of Bell Farm Christian Centre, said: "We're delighted that Her Royal Highness will be honouring us with a visit.

"Bell Farm Christian Centre is a very special place, so we're absolutely thrilled to be able to welcome the princess and for her to see our work first hand."

During her visit, at 2.30pm, her Royal Highness will meet staff and volunteers at the centre, as well as Uxbridge and West Drayton MP John Randall and the Mayor of Hillingdon, Councillor Brian Crowe.

She will then have the opportunity to see some of the work undertaken at the project, including a performance by local dance group, Creative Youth.

Bell Farm Christian Centre is first and foremost a place of prayer and worship, but also provides much-needed services including advocacy and support provision, crches, mother and toddler groups, youth activities, parenting classes, basic skills training and 'How to Drug Proof your Kids' courses.
